I agree with @AntiqueShopper that the best thing to do first is have the store transfer in the piece you’re comparing, if possible. When we were picking out my DBTY necklace, we compared a 0.21 G VS1, a 0.21 I VS1, and a 0.22 H VVS1. I couldn’t see much of a difference between the G and the H, but there was a noticeable difference in color and size between the I and the other two stones—the I looked smaller, even though it was the same carat weight as the G (all three were triple ex).
Let us know which one you decide to purchase! I wear mine daily.
Thanks so much for your response. Yes, you are right. Platinum looks different than WG and silver and this is my first ever platinum piece so I’m getting used to the difference in color. Love that this piece can be used for any occasion.
I very like the platinum on you. Do you mind me asking what is the size of th diamond? Thanks!
It seemed to sparkle less, so I was thinking that it probably didn’t have as great cut proportions as the other two stones. That also affects the white light return, plus fire and scintillation, so that could have made it look smaller, too. Even though all three were graded triple ex, there is a wider range than I would like for what is considered to be an excellent cut, hence the variation. I didn’t bother asking about the specs for the I-colored diamond since I found that the other two already looked better by sight alone.
Were you able to able to have your SA transfer in the other stone for comparison? I’m excited for you!
Hey there, I need your help!
I just purchased a preloved .05 ct DBTY necklace, but I'm not sure if it's really a .05 ct diamond. I put it on a ruler and it measures around 4mm. I already compared it to my Tiffany key with a .03 ct diamond and my Aquamarine CBTY in .06 ct, but that didn't really help. Since the closest Tiffany store is 2 hours away I can't just go in and compare it.
Does someone have a .05 ct or .03 ct sterling silver necklace and could tell me the measurement?

I have the SS bracelet with .05 stones. I’ll attach a picture, maybe that will help you. There’s such a fraction of a difference between the .03 and .05 that I’m not sure how accurate or helpful a ruler measurement can be. (Also, the bracelet is probably 10 years old, and I feel like older stones are wider/bigger.)
BUT, I understand what you’re going through! So I thought I’d post the picture so you can compare. I bought a .17 online, and had only tried on the .08 in store, and was convinced I must’ve received the wrong necklace because it seemed so small (but it was from T&Co so I’m sure it’s right)....they’re such dainty necklaces! I kept comparing a picture of the necklace I bought with the one I’d tried on. It took me a while to come to terms with it!
Hope it helps!

Normally, a 0.5 ct diamond measures about 2.25 - 2.5 mm. I have a dbty necklace with a 0.12 diamond (not Tiffany’s though) which measures about 3.5 mm.
